A Lawyers CLUB House.


A movement is on foot to institute in Phila-
deiphla place of resort and entertainment
Tor lawyers, somewhat after the manner of
the Inns OF Court in London. i he idea was
preached several months ago and since then
1t has been very generally discussed, meeting
with much favor. and plan of organization
Is being developed. The idea or gnated
among what is termed the Junior bar, not the
mere novlces, but the men of younger blood
VINO nave been less than ten or Il dCZ N wears
In practice, and 1t only NJ eds the co op. r
alton OF come OF the older leaders ana judges
To become reality. The need OF some central
place OF resort down town, an unconventional
club house with a restaurant attached where
lawyers could take luncheon IN the busy
hours and meet one another is greatly felt.
There is hardly lawyer with a practice of
any consequence who is abe to take leis-
ureiy midday meal. They are nearly ALWAYS
rushed from 10 O'Clock IN the morning until
or after in the afternoon. and some
times have engagements the same day
IN courts at nearly the same hour. There
Is no buster man II any line than a busy
lawyer, and the pressure of time and the eX
lgencies OF the profession grow more and
more pressing.
As is well known, the most important part
of legal work now ie the settlement of cases.
Arbitration IN one form or another grows
more and more the fashion, and not only are
referees ana other Intermediates appoin ed
TO five or ten times the extent they we're a
lew years ago, but the smartesJ, Cleverest and
most successful lawyer as a rue now is he
who can tudiclUusiy secure the settlement of
case In the interest OF his client without
troubling the court, and thus avoiding not
only expense on both sides, but the I'M
pleasant effects of public trial on the parties
Interested and on the community. Such
social lawyers exchange as is proposed might
prove a valuab agency for bringing lawyers
together ana diminishing litigation.

It's stated that Gen. Bragg, OF Wis
consin, and Mr. Matson, Chairman OF the
Pension Committee, have decided to OPP
pose the bill granting pension of $4,000
to Mrs. Logan. The bill was passed in
the senate without debate, but it is GER
tain that it will be discussed in the
House.
There is no more worthy or popular
woman in the country than Mrs. Logan,
and it is doubtful if there is one for
whom congressman, without regard to
their political affiliations, would do more.
The question, however, is not whether
Mrs Logan is an estlmable and popular
lady, nor whether her late husband was
brave and gallant soldier
when he was in the military service of the
country, but whether there is any reason
tor granting her a pension which could
not be urged with equal force in behalf of
thousands of other widows.
1t is true that a pension of $4,000 was
granted to the widow of Gen. Hancock,
and also to the widow Of Gen. Thomas,
but those Generals died in the service.
There is, therefore. absolutely no precedent
for granting 81 600 pension to the widow
of Gen. Logan. At the time of mis- death
Gen. Logan had been in civil lie more
than twenty years, and as far as anybody
knows he suffered from no disability or
disease contracted during his four years
of military service which entitled him to
a pension.
1t has been said that the rheumatism
which caused his death was contracted
while he was in the army, but there is no
proof of that, and the pension is not based
upon any claim OF that sort. Those who
introduced the bill into the Senate, and
urged its passage, regarded it only as a
gift to the widow OF man who had occu-
pied a prominent place in civil and mill
tary life. The granting OF this pension,
therefore, would be made precedent for
granting many other similar pensions.
Indeed, it is doubtful if the President
could consistently sign the bill. He is on
record against such pensions, and he is
not a man to regard his record as some.
thing of little importance.

Coleman's Ambition.

Hon. Norman j. Coleman, Commits
sioner OF Agriculture, is IN pretty good
humor with himself and his surround
ings at present. He is firmly convinced,
it is said, thaJ the bill that lately passed
the House 10 consolidate the Agricullu-
raj and Labor Bureaus, and make de-
partment out of them, is certain TO pass
the Senate. and that he will before many
months see himself a Cabinet officer.
There is no reason why Mr.. Coleman
should be greatly elated. In the first
place it is not certain that the bill will
pass the Senate, and, in the second place,
il it does there is chance that he Will
not be appointed to the new position.
The position will be a very desirable
one, aud, doubtless, there will be
scramble for it. MIR. Coleman is a very
good sort of a man, and, perhaps, has
many strong friends. but has he the ma
terial in him for a Cabinet officer? Would
ue make good adviser for the President?
The chief value of a Cabinet officer is
not his ability to be the fgurehead OF
great department. and to sign the annual
reports. 1t is his fitness to advise the
administration respecting the many difi
cult and delicate questions OF policy
which are constantly arising.
A man may know all about seeds, soils
and stock, and may know nothing what
ever about great national questions.
However, Mr.. Coleman may know as
much about craftsmanship as he does
about publishing an agricultural paper.
If he does he may have the satisfaction OF
being member OF the Cabinet.

This interesting bit of dialogue was part of

After the noon adjournment DR.. Abbott

testimony above quoted was drawn ont by
the attorney for Truth. If the gentleman can
estab ish that to call man a Mugwump is
not injurious and is no libel he Will perfol m

\ Hotel Mans Testimony.

The little furry of excitement that was
occasioned in Florida by the publication
that the State was getting no visitor,
this winter, and that ali the tourists
were going to California, appears TO have
about subsidized. The second sober
thought is that it is little too early any,
wav to look for a rush of visitors at the
hotels.
A prominent hotel manager OF Florida,
in a communication to the MORNING
NEWS, says: Business starts well with
us, and we think but few people are TAX
ing IN California this winter There is
no idea that any serious injury will be
the effort to boom California. TIE fact
is the tourist travel that fills the large
hotels OF Jacksonville, St. Augustine and
other places does not set in until about
Feb. l. 1t lasts until ABOUT April 20.
The Windsor, Of Jacksonville, for in
stance, did not close last year until the
middle OF May, and it had nearly 1000
arrivals in April. That month ard May
are really the finest months OF the Flor
ida season, and the Northern people UNI
derstand that fact
This hotel keeper knows what he is
talking about, and il the hotel proprie-
tors and others interested in the tourists
will have little pat ence. they VIII have
chance probably to sec a lot OF croak-
ers very much disguised with them
selves

Congressman Caldwell, of Tennessee,

features are the leading features of his
legislative measures, He introduced
bill into the House day or TWO ago to
direct an inquiry into the ways and
means by which the statue Of the father
o. his country became cross-eyed. As
everybody knows. the Greenough statue
OF Washington stands at the eastern en-
trance OF the capitol, a marble figure
naked to the walet, with the inscription
"First in war, first in peace, aud first in
the hearts OF his countrymen" The pre-
amble OF Mr.. CaldwelPs resolution re-
cites that some impious vandal has been
es1onkeyinr with the figure till it now
boks cross-eyed, and the bill directs that
phe vision be corrected.

THE SEASON BEGUN.

The weather was kind, and the people no less so. Our opening was an opening, and we underscored by a satisfactory sale-rec- ord. There was music and amusement in it music in the gentle, wordy-hum of buyers, and in the rustic and wrestle of packages too large for the bearers-amusement in seeing the young eherub strut homeward in his first pair of trousers.
 We gauged the popular demand and fancy exactly. Twas Overcoats and Suits, as we prescribed, that the people want. Our Spring Overcoats in every grade have an army of admirers. The soft roll takes much money, the silk cling. also, and the satin sleeve lining, and the all-silk lining fits many minds and purses. And the extra short lengths are making headway very fast. They are hobby. Prices range from $6.50 to $25.
 As we expected the PRINCE ALBERT SUITS are high in favor. You should know what fneness and smoothness of make ours have. A silken gloss is their stamp, Prices, s20, $25, $50.
 Gentlemen's Business Suits now begin brisk movement. We shall have much more to say about them. Prices, s6 50 to s2s. The Boys find something to talk about when they come here. We can make any boy bigger boy by one of our suits-s3.5 50 Shirt Waists, flannel, soc to $2.50; Percales and Prints, 25 cents to $1.50. All of the best make and choicest patterns.
